Retro bikes are beautifully crafted works of art with timeless designs! But there’s one major issue: they’re old and, compared to modern bikes, technologically outdated.
That’s why Alex is on a mission to breathe new life into a retro bike! With the help of Shimano, he’s fitting it with the latest rim brake Dura-Ace 9200 groupset and taking it on an epic ride. And he’s chosen the perfect bike for the challenge—a vintage Pinarello!
